The main heroine of Cecelia Ahern’s fantastical yet romantic novel “The Marble Diary” is sixteen-year-old Tamara Gudwin, whose fate is the world of dreams.
But a tragic event—a suicide of her father, who lost the entire family fortune, including the luxurious house in Dublin, and therefore chose such an extreme step—forces the girl to leave the city together with her grieving, ill mother and move to the countryside to live with relatives.
Without friends and her beloved pastimes, Tamara is bored in the wilderness, not knowing what to do.
Yet the arrival of a traveling library in the village and her meeting with its owner, who gives her a book with magical properties, helps her not only grow up, but also discover other life values.
